The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

As she was washing, she saw Xiao Yishan carrying a pole with two large empty buckets and walking out of the yard.

Su Qingyue was about to ask him where he was going so late, but then she remembered that the water in the jar had just run out, and she wouldn’t have enough water to rinse her clothes at this time.

Alas, she had troubled second brother again. She had momentarily forgotten that the water in the jar was running low. Actually, considering the amount of water they used tonight, the second brother or his third brother must have fetched water once while she was dozing off.

Had she known, she would have gone to wash near the river the next day, instead of making second brother fetch water for her in the middle of the night. She really missed the tap water in modern times…

Never mind, the second brother walked fast and was already far away. She felt too lazy to call him. Besides, after calling him, if he didn’t turn around, she wouldn’t see it anyway.

For a deaf person, speaking when they can’t hear anything is actually very awkward.

Sometimes, misunderstandings can occur when trying to read lips.

By the time she finished washing her underwear, Xiao Yuchuan also finished washing the remaining two pieces with both of his hands.

Second brother came back carrying a load of water.

She wrung out the clothes first, poured away the dirty water in the basin, then used the two loads of water to rinse the clothes and hung them on the fence.

She wasn’t afraid of anyone stealing her clothes.

These old clothes, with more than a dozen patches and faded colors, had been worn for many years. No one would even want them if she gave them away. If someone had stolen them, they wouldn’t dare to wear them in the village. They wouldn’t be stolen.

Her underwear was just as old. If someone had a fetish for stealing women’s underwear, they wouldn’t choose hers, because she looked terrifying.

By the time she arrived home from the town, it was very late. After all this hassle, it was probably around one o’clock in the morning.

Su Qingyue entered the room, where Xiao Yishan was lighting an oil lamp. The dim yellow light illuminated the room.

She glanced at the large bed in the side room.

At this moment, Xiao Yuchuan also entered.

There were now two men and a woman in the room.

Qingyue felt very embarrassed.

Over the past few days, she had been sleeping on the same bed with the petty cat. She didn’t know what had happened on the night of her high fever, but at least she hadn’t been violated. However, every night after that, she would press his sleeping acupoints after he fell asleep, making him sleep even deeper.

Although her body didn’t have the ancient people’s so-called internal strength, she was a skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor in her side business, so she was very clear about the human acupoints and could easily press them.

She would only release his sleeping acupoints after she woke up the next day.

So, although she slept on the same bed with the petty cat, nothing had actually happened.

It might be a bit over the top to do so, considering he hadn’t shown any intentions to rape her. She might have been overly cautious, but she always felt that the petty cat was not well-behaved, and it was better to be prepared in advance.

She had been seriously injured, was very tired, and needed rest on her previous days. She didn’t want to wait until he really tried something in the middle of the night and then fight back, killing him. That would disturb her recovery from the injury.

The room was very quiet.

So quiet that even the breathing of the three people could be heard.

Su Qingyue didn’t know if the second brother would misunderstand her relationship with the petty cat since they had been sleeping on the same bed for so many days.

“Yue’er, go to sleep.” Xiao Yishan took her hand and asked her to sit on the bed facing her, and said, “Neither I nor third brother will hurt you.”

She watched his lip movements and understood his words. She felt inexplicably reassured, and gently nodded her head. Apparently, the second brother had not misunderstood..
